Inigo Montoya challenges common core testing program

Inigo Montoya: Youkeep
using that word.
I do not think it means what you
think it means.
...(from: The Princess Bride).

We are told that ELLs are about to
"test drive" the "New English-Language Proficiency Assessments."
(June 5).

What does "test-drive" mean? I suspect it means that basic
diagnostics such as internal reliability and item-analysis will be done. I
suspect that it does not include the most important diagnostic: Validity,
especially predictive validity.Will
there be any attempt to see if all this testing will do students any good?
